Questions about this building

Does 79 Bristol Street, Brooklyn have open violations?

Yes. 79 Bristol Street, Brooklyn had 26 open violations on September 27, 2026: 24 from HPD and 2 from OATH/ECB. 14 are Class C, the class HPD treats as immediately hazardous. The oldest open HPD violation has been open 39 years, since November 6, 1986.

Is 79 Bristol Street, Brooklyn getting better or worse?

Open violations are sitting, with little movement either way. 14 open Class C, with 5 certifications filed and 0 new Class C in the last 180 days, too few to call a direction. That window ends September 27, 2026. It compares certifications filed with new Class C violations, and it describes what happened, not what anyone intends.

When were certifications filed on Class C violations at 79 Bristol Street, Brooklyn?

Since September 29, 2023, certifications were filed on 12 Class C violations, all 12 by the original certify-by date. A certification is the filing, dated when it was made, not HPD's acceptance of it. It is compared with the original certify-by date on the notice. A granted postponement moves that date and the city's data keeps only the first, so a certification counted after it may still have met a postponed date.

Does 79 Bristol Street, Brooklyn have an OATH hearing coming up?

Yes. 2 hearings scheduled on DOB summonses, the first on October 30, 2026. DOB summonses are heard at OATH, the city's hearings office, and OATH can move a hearing to a later date. When nobody shows up, the summons is decided by default, the costliest way one ends.

Does 79 Bristol Street, Brooklyn have active DOB violations?

Yes. 1 active DOB violation, issued September 17, 2026. The Department of Buildings writes these separately from HPD's housing violations, for things like boilers, elevators, facades, construction and energy filings. Each one stays active until DOB resolves or dismisses it.

Has DOB received complaints about 79 Bristol Street, Brooklyn?

Yes. 4 DOB complaints in the 12 months to September 25, 2026. The newest was filed September 18, 2026. Anyone can complain to DOB about a building or the work going on in it, and DOB then inspects and decides whether there is a violation. A conversion complaint says an apartment may have been added or changed without approval. It is a complaint, not a finding.

Are any HPD emergency repair orders at 79 Bristol Street, Brooklyn marked completed?

Yes. 1 completed HPD emergency repair order since September 29, 2023: a general construction order, opened April 16, 2025, awarded for $640. HPD orders an emergency repair when a hazardous condition cited in a violation, or in another agency's emergency order, is not corrected, and does the work itself or through a contractor. The amounts are what the orders were awarded for, not a bill: this page does not show what was charged to the property or whether it was paid. Orders for lab tests, such as dust-wipe and asbestos samples, are not counted.

Are any DOB work permits in effect at 79 Bristol Street, Brooklyn?

Yes. 3 DOB work permits in effect. The latest, for Supported Scaffold work, was issued July 17, 2026. A permit in effect allows the work it names. It does not mean the work has started or finished, or that it fixes any violation on this page.

Does 79 Bristol Street, Brooklyn have a certificate of occupancy?

Its latest certificate of occupancy is a final one, issued November 29, 2012. A certificate of occupancy says how a building may be used and occupied. A temporary one lets people move in while work finishes and has to be renewed until DOB issues the final one. DOB's records here start in July 2012, so an older certificate may not show.

When was the boiler at 79 Bristol Street, Brooklyn last inspected?

On January 27, 2026. DOB requires a boiler in a building with 6 or more apartments to be inspected once every calendar year, with the report filed within 14 days of the inspection. Low-pressure boilers in residential buildings with 5 or fewer apartments are exempt.

When did 79 Bristol Street, Brooklyn last file its bedbug report?

On December 16, 2025, for the year to October 31, 2025. HPD asks the owner of every building with 3 or more apartments for this report once a year, covering November 1 to October 31, including buildings that had no bedbugs.

Is 79 Bristol Street, Brooklyn covered by Local Law 97?

Yes. It is on DOB's Local Law 97 covered buildings list. Covered under Article 321, the path for certain affordable housing and houses of worship (DOB's list, March 1, 2026). Local Law 97 sets greenhouse gas limits for most New York City buildings over 25,000 square feet, and DOB's covered buildings list says which path each building is on. The list reflects DOB's records, which owners can ask DOB to correct. This page never estimates a penalty or says whether a building complies.

Is 79 Bristol Street, Brooklyn rent stabilized?

The building has rent-stabilized apartments on its 2024 registration. That comes from the Rent Guidelines Board's list of buildings with at least one stabilized apartment registered that year. Buildings that registered late are left off, and a 421-a or J-51 building can leave stabilization when its tax benefit ends. A particular apartment's status is for NYS HCR to say.

When was 79 Bristol Street, Brooklyn built?

The city's record gives 1932 as the year 79 Bristol Street, Brooklyn was built, in the Department of City Planning's PLUTO tax-lot file. The same file classes it as an elevator apartment building with 6 floors.

How many apartments does 79 Bristol Street, Brooklyn have?

The Department of City Planning's PLUTO tax-lot file lists 40 residential units at 79 Bristol Street, Brooklyn. The count is for the whole tax lot.

Where do these numbers come from?

From New York City's own data: HPD housing violations and OATH/ECB hearing results, read whole rather than sampled. It also draws on OATH hearing dates, DOB violations, DOB complaints, the Rent Guidelines Board's stabilized-building lists, DOB NOW work permits, DOB certificates of occupancy, HPD emergency repair orders, DOB boiler inspection reports, HPD's annual bedbug reports, DOB's Local Law 97 covered buildings list and the city's PLUTO tax-lot file. This page is current through September 27, 2026. The city's data changes daily, so a violation certified after that can still show as open here; the city's own page for this building is linked above.

Sources. HPD housing violations and OATH/ECB hearing results, plus OATH hearing dates, DOB violations, DOB complaints, the Rent Guidelines Board's stabilized-building lists, DOB NOW work permits, DOB certificates of occupancy, HPD emergency repair orders, DOB boiler inspection reports, HPD's annual bedbug reports, DOB's Local Law 97 covered buildings list and the city's PLUTO tax-lot file. Counts cover HPD Class B and C violations from the last 3 years that HPD still shows open, and OATH/ECB summonses from the same 3 years that the city still shows active. The city's own pages can show more, never fewer.
